Germany implemented this law in a way which allows stores to post the recommended retail price instead.

It’s a fucking shitshow, the RRP is always set way too high and there are “30% sales” all the time now.

smh, you didn’t even use lowerCamelCase

Hm, maybe you happen to be shortsighted. Don’t worry, Markdown can help with that:

WAS LEND LEASE IMMORAL BECAUSE IT WAS AID AND ANY AID “PROLONGED” WW2?

I recommend glasses though

Also RCS which I am basically obligated to mention

Sure, it would’ve just killed a few more million soldiers and civilians at minimum, who cares about lives anyways.

Nobody needs

over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386[56] of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans);[57] 11,400 aircraft (of which 4,719 were Bell P-39 Airacobras, 3,414 were Douglas A-20 Havocs and 2,397 were Bell P-63 Kingcobras)[58] and 1.75 million tons of food.[59]

in a war.

Also you failed to address the point: Was lend lease immoral because it “prolonged” the war?

In WW2 the US shouldn’t have sent any aid to the Soviets because this just lengthened the war, they should’ve pushed both sides towards a peace treaty

I’ll give you that, racism against brown muslims was the reason they were elected.

But this is not the first time a party was elected because of racism.

No one is winning elections campaigning on kicking out Slavs. But parties have been compaigning against them. Take a look at how media was representing “Russian-Germans” in the early 90’s. Spoiler: just the usual. “They’re stealing social securities from families, getting everything handed to them…”.

Or how populist media has portrayed Greeks after the financial crisis:

Sell your islands, bankrupt Greeks!

This is how Greeks are wasting [our] beautiful euros

You won’t get anything from us!

Not a single drop of racism to be seen in here, nope.

Don’t get me wrong, anti-Muslim and anti-brown racism is rampant in Europe.

But that’s only a subset of European racism, racist Europeans despise any and all refugees, regardless of skin color because they despise amy culture different from their own. Perhaps for the first two months of the Russian war of aggression they pretended otherwise. Afterwards however, the same. Identical. Populist. Talking points. Were used as in 2015.

even at the expanse of local population

I suggest not parroting far right propaganda, thank you very much.

Also, perhaps don’t apply fascist Poland, Hungary or Italy’s behavior on the entire EU, there are many millions of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghani refugees in the EU.

Also, European racism is far more complex than white = good, brown = bad, like in the US.
Nazis wanted to eradicate “white” Jews, “white” Romani and “white” Slavic people because of their ““race””. Do you seriously believe current day Nazis love the idea of Ukrainian immigrants? Have you actually seen how racist Germans treat Eastern European immigrant workers from Poland or Romania?

That makes much more sense, my first intuition was passing people on the sidewalk which… doesn’t seem like a red flag.

What do you mean with

walking around other earthlings on footpaths etc instead of through

Is an earthling a human, an animal, a plant or subsets of those three? And what is walking through an earthling?

I’m geniuenly curious, I have no idea what you mean.

I can’t believe it, missed it by a few hours.

How the fuck does this even happen - was the site hacked?

Uh what exactly is supposed to be on that site? It’s a dogecoin scam site, not something related to xkcd.

Minister Faeser also makes it clear: “Racism, anti-Semitism or any other form of misanthropy stand in the way of naturalization - there is zero tolerance.” A clear commitment to the values of a free society should therefore be a prerequisite for naturalization. Anyone who does not share values such as the dignity and equality of all people and the equal rights of men and women, or who even acts against them, may not become a German.

“All those who sought to weaken me by striking my family should know that even if a water drop can hope to break a rock, a rock will always be a rock while a drop is just water.”

What

§5(2) DWG:

The broadcasts must enable independent opinion-forming and must not unilaterally support a party or other political association, a religious community, a profession or a community of interests. The moral, religious and ideological convictions of broadcasting participants must be respected.

§5(3)

Reporting shall be comprehensive, truthful and factual, and shall be carried out in the awareness that Deutsche Welle’s broadcasts affect the Federal Republic of Germany’s relations with foreign states. The origin and content of news items intended for publication shall be checked with due care. Commentaries are to be clearly separated from news items and identified as such by naming the author.

Unlike Qatar Germany’s rule of law is somewhat existent, meaning DW would be in violation of this law should they report similarly to Al Jazeera.

I prefer a 2 state solution, with Jerusalem being moved to the center of the Pacific Ocean.

Nice quote. How about a few more?

Jews are a people who cannot be trusted. They have been traitors to all agreements. Go back to history. Their fate is their vanishing

• an imam of Hamas, 2008

Suffering by fire is the Jews’ destiny in this world and the next. Therefore we are sure that the Holocaust is still to come upon the Jews.

• another imam and Hamas legislator

In order to annihilate those Jews. … O Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. O Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. O Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.

• Speaker of the Hamas parliament, 2012

The Jews are behind each and every catastrophe on the face of the Earth. This is not open to debate. This is not a temporal thing, but goes back to days of yore. They concocted so many conspiracies and betrayed rulers and nations so many times that the people harbor hatred towards them. … Throughout history—from Nebuchadnezzar until modern times. … They slayed the prophets, and so on. … Any catastrophe on the face of this Earth—the Jews must be behind it.

• a member of the Hamas parliament, 2012

We all remember how the Jews used to slaughter Christians, in order to mix their blood in their holy matzos… It happened everywhere.

• Hamas spokesman, 2014

This conference bears a clear Zionist goal, aimed at forging history by hiding the truth about the so-called Holocaust, which is an alleged and invented story with no basis. (…) The invention of these grand illusions of an alleged crime that never occurred, ignoring the millions of dead European victims of Nazism during the war, clearly reveals the racist Zionist face, which believes in the superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the nations. (…) By these methods, the Jews in the world flout scientific methods of research whenever that research contradicts their racist interests.

• Hamas press release, 2000

The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

• The former 1988 Hamas charter, but also a hadith in which islamists believe

Well, then there’s also a bunch of other stuff I didn’t mention:

• cleaning the car costs a little every now and thrn because you mustn’t do it in your driveway
• speeding tickets and other violations occur depending on how well you abide by the rules
• TÜV et al. cost a little every few years
• some parts may break due to bad luck - even Toyota cannot prevent stone chips on your windshield

There are a lot of small hidden costs which all add up, even on cheap cars.

You don’t factor in:

• tires
• oil changes
• repairing broken parts
• insurance
• the loss of value over time
